E3: Star Wars Battlefront videos

We received these two gameplay videos of Star Wars Battlefront and we're sharing them with you. Note the bitrate is not that great but that's the best we could get and it's still better than youtube. EA and DICE will release the game on November 17th.

Finally!!! Thanks so much for these!
This is how such a beautiful game is supposed to be shown.

Any chance you guys will be able to get the Mass Effect: Andromeda, Mirror's Edge: Catalyst, Need for Speed and Star Wars: The Old Republic - Knights of the Fallen Empire videos from the same source as well?

Well if it were at least 20,000kbps then that is a lot closer to "how it should be shown". But this looks like the highest bitrate video EA put up so far :(
I take it, that is from the Australian Press site guys? Still the only EA place that puts up direct feed videos :)

The sound is amazing indeed! DICE partnered with the official Star Wars visual and audio effects company to use the same sounds as the movies.

In addition to that, this is the first game to use Dolby Atmos - exclusively on PC, which is a new audio technology that places sounds in a 3D space, which supposedly (haven't tried it yet) greatly enhances sound, more info on it below.

"The result is an audio experience that pulls the sound up from the ear-level speakers of 7.1 and 5.1 systems. With Atmos it sounds like water is falling on a canopy above you in a scene with a storm. When something goes whizzing by your ears it “feels” like it’s actually happening in the theatre. You can hear the system in action in Atmos-certified theatres with recent movies like Guardians of the Galaxy, Star Trek Into the Darkness and The Life of Pi."

This last excerpt from the last link can give you a better idea of what Dolby Atmos can do. I hope to one day be able to play a great FPS with VR and Atmos audio, on such a day you guys will never see me again.

Well what are you comparing here; the technical fidelity of the visuals with the artistic aspects of the sound design?

Artistically, yes. Technically? A little. I don't see how this wouldn't be doable on PS4 or why it would need a downgrade unless they were going for parity with weaker platforms. Killzone: Shadow Fall looks better than this, at least on a technical level, and that was a launch game.

If 60fps here is very stable here, I will be impressed. That is my one doubt regarding this footage. It looks good either way. Again, my reply was at yippee thinking it wouldn't look like this at launch. Yes, it's hard to trust EA, but I've seen far better looking games on PS4.

Killzone: Shadow Fall looks better than this, at least on a technical level, and that was a launch game.

Does all of Killzone look better, or just the single player? At half or maybe even less than half the framerate? When you consider the framerate, the platform, and the multiplayer load.. it looks friggin' incredible. That has nothing to do with the quality of the art direction. Those are technical achievements.

"It doesn't look good" and "it looks great for 60 fps" are contradictory statements. It can't be both.
